The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 47 Su Mansion Completed
"I don't know when this girl will grow up. She's almost fifteen years old, but she still looks like a child..." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and smiled helplessly, her tone full of doting.
"Mom, don't worry! Although An Ning is lively, she is always very sensible in doing things. Besides, I think my second sister seems to have a special feeling for Captain Su..." Xiao Anya comforted her and observed the subtle changes in her sister's attitude towards Captain Su.
Mrs. Xiao's heart moved: "Captain Su is indeed very good, but his family background..." When she said this, Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly, looking a little worried.
"Given my second sister's personality, if she marries into one of those aristocratic families, she will probably be subject to many restrictions and will feel uncomfortable. Although Captain Su has a simpler family background, he is extremely talented and now he is appreciated by His Highness. He will surely be able to rise to prominence in the future. Perhaps this is a good choice for my second sister..." Xiao Anya analyzed calmly, trying to make her mother put her concerns aside.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao also felt that what her daughter said made sense: "Yes, Ning'er's personality is indeed not suitable for being involved in complicated family disputes. If she can find someone who truly treats her well and is capable of protecting her, it would not be a bad idea."
Madam Xiao sighed softly: "Alas, I hope everything will be as we wish... I will trouble you to take care of An Ning more in the future."
Xiao Anya responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom. An Ning is my biological sister! I will take good care of her." She knew the importance of family affection and said that she would do her best to care for and protect her sister.
On the other side, after Su Lun returned to the guest house, he tidied himself up a bit and then followed two guards out of the gate of the general's mansion.
"May I ask what your names are, gentlemen?" Su Lun asked in a low and powerful voice.
"I don't deserve it. I'm Qingfeng and Qingsong, originally guards of the Eastern Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered us to follow Captain Su for the time being." Qingfeng replied respectfully.
The Captain's Mansion was not far from the General's Mansion. After driving the carriage for less than half an hour, a magnificent mansion appeared before their eyes. A plaque hung high above the door of the mansion, with the words "Su Mansion" written in a flamboyant style. Judging from the size of the mansion, it was quite impressive.
"Captain Su, we have arrived at our destination. Please come in." Qingfeng led Su Lun respectfully.
Su Lun stared at the exquisite mansion in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. This mansion was extraordinary and awe-inspiring. When several people stepped into the mansion, they realized that the scale of this mansion was really large. In addition to the spacious main courtyard, there were three other courtyards scattered around, and there was a small and exquisite garden in the center. Several people walked into the house, but saw that several people were waiting there.
When the people in the room saw Su Lun and Xiao An Ning appear in front of them, they showed a trace of surprise on their faces, but it was fleeting, and they immediately regained their composure. This person was from the East Palace, and usually served the Crown Prince. Naturally, he was no stranger to the younger sister of the future Crown Princess.
Little Lizi stepped forward, bowed and said, "Captain Su, Miss Xiao Er, your servant Little Lizi, on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am here to deliver all the gifts from the Emperor. Captain Su, please take a look and count them." After that, Little Lizi gently opened the lid of one of the boxes.
"Thank you, Eunuch Li! I am grateful for your kindness, Your Highness. As for counting the items, I will not trouble you. I am really sorry to trouble you to come here this time. I hope you can forgive me." Su Lun did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He clasped his fists and saluted, responding respectfully.
Little Lizi had a big smile on his face and said in a humble tone: "Captain Su, you are too polite. This is my job and it's not worth mentioning. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave and return to the palace to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After that, he nodded slightly, turned and left.
"Please wait a moment, eunuch." Su Lun walked quickly to the box, opened the lid, took out a few golden and heavy ingots, and stuffed them into Little Li's arms without hesitation. "Please forgive me, Eunuch Li. I have just arrived in the capital and just moved into the mansion. I am not familiar with everything. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely host a banquet for you. I hope you will forgive me for my negligence today."
At this time, Xiao Lizi showed a flattering smile on his face, but he still waved his hands to refuse: "Captain Su, no! How can this be done?"
"Eunuch Li, please don't refuse. I will have to rely on your care in the future. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't despise it." Su Lun was firm in his attitude.
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command." Little Li accepted it with satisfaction. Then, Su Lun respectfully escorted him out the door.
"I didn't expect that you know all these things." Xiao An Ning looked at Su Lun with interest and joked with a smile.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss. I'm rude and impolite. If there's anything inappropriate, I hope you can give me some advice and suggestions." Su Lun smiled slightly, his tone humble and gentle.
Xiao An Ning was almost dazzled by his smile, and couldn't help but said with some embarrassment: "You are really... Didn't I tell you not to be so flowery..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible, but her cheeks unconsciously flushed.
Seeing this, Su Lun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a brilliant smile, and cleverly changed the subject: "Okay, okay, in that case, I wonder if the second young lady is interested in touring the mansion?"
When Xiao An Ning heard this, the embarrassment in her heart immediately dissipated. She raised her head and her gaze fell on Su Lun. A hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Okay, okay, I think this mansion is not bad. It looks very spacious." Her tone was light, and she was obviously very interested in this proposal.
At this time, Qingfeng, who had been following them silently, began to explain: "Captain Su, Miss Xiao Er, this house was originally the villa of a wealthy businessman. Because this man committed a serious crime, in order to protect himself, he took the initiative to offer this house to the court in exchange for a glimmer of hope. The wealthy businessman is from Jiangnan, so the design of this house is quite Jiangnan style. And Captain Su, you are also from the south, I believe you will feel more comfortable and accustomed to living here."
"So that's how it is. Your Highness the Crown Prince, thank you for your concern. How has Su Lun deserved this honor..." Su Lun couldn't help but feel a little moved. Before this, he never dared to imagine that one day he would own such a luxurious mansion in this prosperous area of the capital.
You know, this mansion not only has an excellent geographical location, but also is large in scale and luxuriously decorated. Both the architectural style and the internal layout are noble and grand. Su Lun knew that with his identity and status, he would never be able to get such a reward. However, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given him such a precious gift, which makes him feel extremely honored and grateful.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Captain Su not only saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life, but also successfully protected the key evidence in the smuggling salt case, so that those lawless criminals received the punishment they deserved. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince commends you for your heroic behavior and outstanding contributions..." Qingfeng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Lun felt a warm current in his heart. He understood that the reason why he was able to receive such a generous reward this time was entirely because he stood up at a critical moment and tried his best to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the interests of the country. The recognition and affirmation given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became a huge motivation for him to continue moving forward and serve the country and the people. At this moment, Su Lun secretly vowed that he would work harder in the future and live up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expectations and love.
